The Fort Worth Natural Gas aad Water
Supply Company was recently orgsniZet
for the purpose OF prospecting for nat
uraI gas, etc. Professor J. H.
Rslston, Inspector Of milera! lands, has
Just reported to this company On the
subject OF natural gas under Tort Worth's
soil. AmoGg ether things he says:
"Natural gas is now found in varying
quantities from the Hudson river or the
east to California on the west. n New
York, Pennsylvania, West Vlrsilis, OHIO,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Kansas, Colorado, Dakota, Utsh,
Wyoming and California, my own ex~
perience has been, after years CT study
and personal investigation, that wherever
the oil bearing rocks are found associated
with saline waters, there and in the sur
rounding region natural gas is sure to
exist.
''THEsE CONDITIONS EXIST HERE,
and l fad them strongly marked near
your city. Natural gas and saline water
are always touEd together closely asso-
ciaGed, and lying together on the same
floor, buried deeply IL NATURES great lab
oratory." Satisfactory developments
will, no doubt, be msde a. 81 early date.
